Sky Arts is the only stable of channels in the UK dedicated solely to the arts, and Virgin Media customers will be able to engage with the some of the best culturally stimulating programming available in spectacular high-definition. Both channels cover the greats of contemporary and classical arts – from iconic rock performances to the best operas, from ballet to books, from theatre to photography.
Virgin Media customers will now be able to watch great programmes including Songbook, The Book Show, In Confidence, Rock and Roll Exposed and Sky Arts Cinema with Mike Figgis in true high-definition, providing them with a crystal clear viewing experience.

Least we are seeing channels being added than taken away,Sky arts 1+2 are not channels i will be watching but some will like.Just hope after all these months thats not all we are seeing hd,Very disapointed if thats the case

when we comment on sky having lots of HD channels, this is what they offer.When VM start adding them, we comment on how we dont like them.if you want to compair sky hd channels to vm, recognise that most sky hd channels are like these two.(unless you pay for the premium ones)
